Hilariously good ganks. Ult the tower, E in, and Q the enemy. Perfect.

J4. i rarely see him played. His tank build is really strong but requires not braindead teammates. All your cc, chase, and peel won't help you if your team is retarded. Akali is good jung too. Yas and teemo are also viable jungle, but a little tougher to play.

And congrats on getting unbanned. Please don't repeat the same mistakes you made before.

K... now that I've had some coffee & my brain understands what I'm reading.

Rumble Besides myself, I've only seen 3 others play him.

Pros -High Damage potential -Good cleanup after a teamfight due to long range ult -Strong slows -Spammable spells -Surprisingly tanky for the amount of damage he deals

Cons -Item reliant -Close range damage spells & horrible melee attack range -Lacks engage/hard cc -No sustain, Hard to split push -High learning curve

To clarify a few points. - High damage potential, most of Rumble's damage comes from his Q which is a cone-shape in front of him. If you have to run from an enemy, you lose most of your damage.

  • Tanky for the amount of damage he deals, most ap champs that can put out comparable or better damage are rather squishy. I've had a few times I've been able to win a 1v2 when the enemy jungler ganked, but he's in nowhere near tanky as a Garen or Irelia for example. Some of Rumble's tankiness comes from his W which at max blocks 170 (+40% Ability Power) damage for 2 seconds.
  • High learning curve, Rumble is the only champ to use anything close to his heat mechanic. You have to be in 'Danger Zone' (between 50 to 95 heat) to get the most damage out, if you reach 100% you silence yourself & get some bonus damage on your aa. Heat goes up by 20 every spell & drops 4 times by 5 heat, then drops by 10 heat after that. So it's easy to fall out of danger zone without practice.

Tryndamere can jungle well but isn't often picked.

I wouldn't mine chatting.

You said you were looking to get away from jungle, and that you're looking to play off meta picks. I can help with both. What are you looking for?

If you're looking for an unconventional jungle pick I would go with Diana. Her jungle clear is insane for an AP mage and her ganks are terrifying once she hits level 6. She's also fun because you can go runeglaive or devourer on her depending on your team comp and how fed you get. Right now she is rated #2 in overall jungle performance on champion.gg, which compiles stats from plat+ games.

LuLu Karma Fiddle kayle rammus zac a lot of top laners can go into the jungle and they'd be uncommon for that playtyle for example trumdle

Nocturne, aatrox, and volibear they're rare and ate only picked when they are above and beyond the BEST, since they don't bring anything that other champions can.

So yeah they're uncommon jungle picks
